Thierry Granger updated MAPREDUCE-5061:
---------------------------------------

    Description: 
Hello,

The org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.MultipleInputs expects a 
configuration with : 
   * the parameter mapreduce.input.multipleinputs.dir.mappers in the format 
<path 1>,<mapper class 1>;<path 2>,<mapper class 2>
   * the parameter mapreduce.input.multipleinputs.dir.formats in the format 
<path 1>,<input format class 1>;<path 2>,<input format class 2>

The usage of the comma as separator unable the use of the glob characters {a,b} 
in the path (like : hdfs://localhost/user/foo/data201{2,3} ).

I suggest to change the separator to another non-problematic one (maybe =).

I patched the MultipleInputs code locally and found an other related issue : 
when the path are created, the string representing the path is not unescape 
(like it's done in the 
org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.FileInputFormat.getInputPaths method) 
which makes an invalid path in case of glob characters {a\,b}

Thank you
